In Sonoma County, so much of life happens outdoors. The right patio, deck, or outdoor kitchen adds usable living space without adding a single square foot to the house, and it is where families spend summer nights and host friends year-round.
We build hardscape and structures that hold up to weather and real entertaining: stone and paver patios laid level and drained to stay put, flagstone paths set in sand or mortar, cedar and heavy-timber pergolas engineered for wind and sun, and outdoor kitchens with grills, counters, and storage built to live outside. Decks get safe, code-compliant stairs and railings, and retaining walls are built to hold grade and define the space.
One licensed contractor plans drainage, structure, and finish together so the backyard reads as an extension of the home, not an add-on. We leave planting beds finished cleanly, walk the space with you, and build it to look as good in ten years as it does on handover day.
Common Questions
What outdoor projects add the most usable space?
Covered patios, decks, and outdoor kitchens extend living outdoors most directly. During the consultation, we walk your yard and recommend what fits your sun, grade, and how you entertain.
How do you handle drainage and slope?
Patios and walkways are laid level with drainage planned so water moves away from the house and paving stays put through winter rains.
What materials hold up best outdoors?
Cedar and heavy timber for shade structures, natural stone and pavers for hardscape, and cedar, composite, or hardwood for decks. We recommend based on sun exposure, maintenance, and budget.
Do I need permits for a pergola or outdoor kitchen?
Some structures and utility runs require permits and inspections. We advise what your project needs and coordinate it as your licensed contractor.
Can you phase the backyard over time?
Yes. Many homeowners start with a patio or path, then add cover or a kitchen later. We plan the layout up front so future phases tie in cleanly.
